About Swami Vivekananda Sardh Shati Samaroh Samiti,
Swami
Vivekananda: The Seer of Vibrant India
Swami Vivekananda by his
sojourn to the western countries starting with his universally acclaimed
presentations in Parliament of Religions in 1893 gave self-respect, dignity and
purpose to his motherland. On his return he gave a rousing call to India ‘Arise!
Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached.’ His message to India,’ Wake Up, Bharat!
Enlighten the World!’ galvanized the whole nation. It triggered national
renaissance and inspired many to work in the field of education, social
reforms, spiritual service and also fight for the freedom of India.
The second wave of inspiration
from the life and message of Swami Vivekananda was in the year 1963, when his
birth centenary was celebrated by the whole nation with a great zeal. As a
culmination of the celebrations, whole nation joined together to erect a grand
Vivekananda Rock Memorial on the mid-sea Rock at Kanyakumari.
The grand celebration of the
150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda titled as ‘Swami Vivekananda
Sardha Shati Samaroh’ is a great opportunity to take the third wave of his
inspiring message to as many as possible. Celebrations would be held from 12th
January 2013 to 12th January 2014 with the theme
‘Wake Up, Bharat! Enlighten the World!!’
Today, when India is
emerging as a great economical and civilizational power, she has to wake up to her
potentialities and learn to use this power to deliver the message of Spirituality to the world in
Vedantic vision of Oneness. The celebrations will be taken up along with all
the spiritual and service organizations in the country. For the celebrations,
Swami Vivekananda Sardha Shati Samaroh Samitis are being organized at all India
level and in each state.

About Research Paper Competition
Swami Vivekananda Sardha Shati Samaroh
Samiti and Vivekanand Education
Society’s College of Arts, Science & Commerce jointly
organizes Research Paper Competition on “Relevance of Swami Vivekananda Thought
for Nation Building” and invites research papers. The purpose of the competitions
is to make
everybody aware about Swami Vivekananda's inspiring life, thoughts and his
relevance in today's context.
Swami Vivekananda is relevant today
when the humanity is facing the challenges of modern complexity. Sri
Aurobindo wrote, “Vivekananda was a soul of puissance if ever there was
one, a very lion among men, but the definitive work he has left behind is quite
incommensurate with our impression of his creative might and energy. We
perceive his influence still working gigantically, we know not well how, we
know not well where, in something that is not yet formed, something leonine,
grand, intuitive, upheaving that has entered the soul of India and we say,
"Behold, Vivekananda still lives in the soul of his Mother and in the
souls of her children.”
He is relevant today in India when
India has emerged as a great economic and civilizational power, but still she
has to learn to use this power as a fit vehicle to deliver the message of
spirituality to the world. She also has to learn not to fritter away this power
in self-aggrandizement or for crushing others but helping the needy in the
Vedantic Vision of Oneness.
Guidelines for the Research Paper Competition –
Research Papers
are invited on following topics
v Swami Vivekananda Thoughts on Education –
GOI
enacted Right to education bill after 60 years of independence. According to
Census 2011 25% are still illiterates. Swami Vivekanada’s thoughts on “Education”
may help us at this critical point in time
v
Swami Vivekanand’s
vision for Spirituality and Science
Where is science headed
in the 21st century? Do scientists believe that spirituality is the opposite of
science? Do spiritual gurus think that science creates monsters and instruments
of mass destruction? Has the chasm between spirituality and science widened?
Swami Vivekananda explored these questions more than 100 years ago.
v
Women’s issues
and Swami Vivekananda
Today
women are leading in all walks of life, on the other side atrocities against
women such as rapes, dowry deaths, girl foeticide are also increasing. In this
context the relevance of Swami Vivekananda’s ideals about Bharatiya Womanhood
requires special attention.
v Message of Swami Vivekananda – Service to Downtrodden
service to God

of India has accepted the Tendulkar Committee report which says that 33% of
people in India live below the poverty line (BPL).The Arjun Sengupta Report
